VBAC In Los Angeles

I'm assuming those are the hospitals that your insurance will take? If that's the case, call the Labor and Delivery unit at the hospital and ask to speak to the charge nurse. Ask her if VBAC's are done there, and which doctors are supportive and committed to the process. Also, PLEASE consider contacting a doula to help you with your delivery. They are an excellent resource as well in many ways. The midwives group at UCLA or the midwife unit at Kaiser Baldwin Park are excellent places to deliver your VBAC baby as well. Go to The Birth Survey as well and look up potential doctors. God bless you!

Providence St. Joseph is Burbank DOES NOT ALLOW for VBACs at all, doesn't matter the doctor (something I think is HORRIBLY wrong with healthcare these days...) Anyway, locally, you have a couple options. There are several doctors out of Glendale Adventist who will perform a VBAC birth, there is Sedars or Good Samaritan hospital as well which each have doctors who will perform VBAC.

Doctor Selena Lantry is the only one I know by name at Glendale Adventist as that's who my cousin used for her 3 VBACs. There are others however as she is a very busy doctor so the complaint I've heard is long wait-times for appointments, etc.

Good Luck and good job standing up for YOUR rights!

This might be too far for you, but Dr. Dwight at Good Samaritan in Downtown is amazing and will take you. Its a great hospital too. But Im sure there are many more doc's that will help. good luck!

You may want to look into midwife care in your area and/or UCLA Midwives. Good luck!
